Jeffery Broussard & The Creole Cowboys NE Tour Dates

A question was asked below as to Jeffery Broussard's complete NE Tour dates, including collaborative performances with The Buddhahood.
I've listed it below. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I can get answers from Jeffery. I'm sure I don't need to tell all of you accordion players how great he plays - definitely worth seeing! Enjoy the music and happy dancing! Thanks, Saanen

Rochester, NY, 9:00 PM start
Dub Land Underground, 315 Alexander St., Rochester, NY
This is a collaborative show with The Buddahood. From their website: The BuddhaHood presents an exciting, lively, energetic and, most of all, fresh-sounding repertoire of music. This large group (a minimum of 9 players, sometimes more) includes the standard rhythm section with auxiliary percussion, steel drums, and horns, and there are times when every member of the band picks up a percussion instrument and participates in a massive drum jam.

Lessons with Jeffery Broussard

Jeffery wanted me to pass along to all of you that he would be happy to give private or group lessons while he's on the road. He's a very good teacher - teaches at the Dewey Balfa Cajun and Creole Heritage Week (see message below from Maz) and has taught at Augusta, as well all of the teaching he does back home. Of course his main instruments are accordions, but he can also play and teach guitar, bass, drums, scrubboard. You can see from his tour schedule that he's going to be covering a lot of ground up in the Northeast. If you're interested in lessons, please contact me and I'll get you in touch with him to arrange date/time/place.

Thanks,
Saanen
